Mini-Goal Photo Album - Nearly 20lbs gone **warning large images not suitable for family eyes** haha

So I figured I would do a little mini-goal post even though I'm 1lb off next week I won't have time to post it so I thought I would do it now... My highest weight ever was when I was 38 weeks pregnant (2 days before I had my daughter) and I was 238lbs... my lowest adult weight is 174lbs.. I started my weightloss journey at 227.5lbs... Here are a few pictures of me over the summer... even though I look about 7 months pregnant I was NOT pregnant in any of these pictures! (They are big I can't figure out how to make them smaller so sorry you get a LARGE dose of LARGE me!)
This is me in July at 227+lbs

My daughter is 9.5 months old and I'm about 5lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight (You know the saying "eat for 2" that you aren't supposed to follow... well I ate like I was pregnant with triplets hahaha) Also to note I didn't have 1 strechmark on my stomach or sides before my pregnancy and well.. you can see the toll it takes on a woman's body (worth it though!) I hope to get down to 140lbs! So I still have a WAYS to go but this is a start!

omg your too cute ... and your goals are totally atainable !! great start ... and btw ... the first picture is absolutley precious !!!!! 2 FRICKEN CUTE !!!! the picture actually made me smile your baby is adorable !!!!!!!!!!!!

you are sooooo beautiful and what a cute baby!! (that was my first impression when i saw the photos)
congratulations!!! losing 20 lbs is a lot of hard work, way to go!

Both you and your daughter are so cute! Congratulations on the weight loss, you look fantastic!

Congrats, you can definitely see a difference! You and your baby are beautiful :D

You can see such a difference! Way to go!

WTG!!! :bravo: Your daughter is so adorable too!!

Awww sooo cute, the both of ya!! :hug:

Thank you SO much for posting those pictures!

I'm currently getting disgruntled over my "rolls" that don't seem to be dissapaiting. Through these bravely posted pictures, I can see the transformation will soon transpire for me -- as it clearly has for you! :)

Your so-called "back fat" in your before picture (you at 222 pounds) is a near splitting-image of what I have right now (me at 234 pounds).

Thank you very much!

Way to go on the 20 pound loss! Your baby is so adorable!

Thank you guys all for your comments! I'm very glad I took these pictures from the start!! Theres less than a 15lbs difference between the two sets of "full shot" pictures and I can really see a difference myself which is what I think is most important... even though its a small change I can see it with my own eyes! And tpanisiak I can't wait until my back fat is gone COMPLETELY!! hahaha

Way to go!!!! Congrats!

You were really smart to take "before" pictures and I wish I had done so. I can really see a difference in your figure and I agree with everyone else--your daughter is simply adorable!

Awh, you look so good! And your daughter is adorable!

Awesome job! You two are adorable!

And tpanisiak I can't wait until my back fat is gone COMPLETELY!! hahaha

You will soon get there, I am sure. There's a huge difference already, friend! :)

Keep up the positive spirit -- too many people forget this is as important as healthy eating and exersize.

woah, I have alot of similarities to you. I was 238 when pregnant with my daughter, and now I am 208! we have the exact same body shape too. you even have the same tile on your floors in your pics....weird.

2 cuties!

Wow you are doing an awesome job, and that baby girl is so darned cute....takes after her momma!
